Fury said to a mouse,

That he met in the
  house, 'Let us
    both go to law:
      I will prosecute

        you. - Come, I'll
          take no denial;
            We must have
          a trial: For
        really this
      morning I've
    nothing to do.'
  Said the mouse
to the cur,
  'Such a trial,
    dear Sir, With
      no jury or
        judge, would
          be wasting
            our breath.'
          'I'll be
        judge, I'll
      be jury,'

    Said cunning
  old Fury:
    'I'll try
      the whole
        cause, and
          condemn
            you
          to
        death.'


Lewis Carroll

from
"Alice's Adventures in Wonderland"
